KBO canceled NC's Kiwoom match and Doosan's LG match for three days in a row, where a player was confirmed.
This is because, as a result of the epidemiological investigation of the two teams, most of the first-team players except for those who have been vaccinated were classified as close contacts, making it difficult to play normally.
Lameness followed in other matches as well.
Just before the game, the KIA player and the Daegu referee were informed that they were both close contacts of a Doosan confirmed player, and the game started was delayed as they were replaced in a hurry.
The KBO will hold a president's meeting today to decide whether to suspend the season or not.
In the Daegu match that started after twists and turns, Samsung defeated Lotte in a 'defense showdown'.
While center fielder Park Hae-min caught Lotte Lee Dae-ho's batting ball in the second inning with a great diving catch, Lotte made a series of ridiculous defensive mistakes in the middle of the game, causing defeat.
Thanks to Choi Hyung-woo's two-run home run in the 6th inning, KIA defeated KT and sprinted for a 6-game winning streak.
SSG beat Hanwha with Kim Seong-hyeon's full-run home run and escaped from the second straight defeat.
